摘要:

为了研究无菌中微子的存在,我们提出了一种新的利用$^{13}$ C束和$^{9}$ Be靶产生中微子的方法,用于短基线电子反中微子(${\barν}_{e}$)消失的研究.用三种不同的核-核(AA)反应模型计算了$^{13}$ C + $^{9}$ Be反应中能发射中微子的次级不稳定同位素的产生.不同的同位素产额得到使用这些模型,但中微子通量的结果被发现有一致的相似之处。这一特征为通过形状分析研究中微子振荡提供了机会。本文通过对轻离子碰撞反应和碰撞后不稳定同位素的β衰变产生的中微子流的模拟,详细讨论了预期的中微子流和事件率。连同反应堆和加速器的异常,目前提出的${\barν}_{e}$源被证明是一个实际的替代测试的存在$Δm^{2}$ $\sim$ 1 eV $^{2}$规模的无菌中微子。

英文摘要:

To investigate the existence of sterile neutrino, we propose a new neutrino production method using $^{13}$C beams and a $^{9}$Be target for short-baseline electron antineutrino (${\barν}_{e}$) disappearance study. The production of secondary unstable isotopes which can emit neutrinos from the $^{13}$C + $^{9}$Be reaction is calculated with three different nucleus-nucleus (AA) reaction models. Different isotope yields are obtained using these models, but the results of the neutrino flux are found to have unanimous similarities. This feature gives an opportunity to study neutrino oscillation through shape analysis. In this work, expected neutrino flux and event rates are discussed in detail through intensive simulation of the light ion collision reaction and the neutrino flux from the beta decay of unstable isotopes followed by this collision. Together with the reactor and accelerator anomalies, the present proposed ${\barν}_{e}$ source is shown to be a practically alternative test of the existence of the $Δm^{2}$ $\sim$ 1 eV$^{2}$ scale sterile neutrino.
